Chapter 1547 — The One Whose Kindness Suddenly Overflowed

Shen Mu inwardly sighed with regret. Langxuan Divine Emperor's abilities might be extremely high, but they had only surged after he obtained that prehistoric Dao Fruit.

The fruit was a bizarre thing. It made his attainments in the Dao realm advance with astonishing speed, while his attainments in the Dao heart actually went backward instead of forward. Shen Mu therefore believed that, with his own abilities and Qiang Tianfei's, they could certainly ambush Langxuan Divine Emperor.

They only needed to strike at his Dao heart, and he would surely lose!

But by now Qiang Tianfei had become a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. Dawn Heavenly Venerable had frightened the courage out of her, and she no longer dared to fight.

Shen Mu could do nothing about that.

Of the two, one stood at the prow and one sat at the stern. Qiang Tianfei spoke from time to time, pointing out where he should go, and before long they finally sailed out of that stretch of chaotic mist.

Shen Mu secretly lamented that this mist was their best chance to break the ten Heavenly Venerables one by one. Unfortunately, Qiang Tianfei was no Kaihuang. Had it been Kaihuang in her place, the ten Heavenly Venerables would probably already have suffered heavy losses.

Passing through the mist had also brought Shen Mu great benefit. He seemed to have delayed himself there, doing nothing except ambushing a few Heavenly Venerables, but during that time the World Tree in his domain had grown by a section. This World Tree had been absorbing the chaotic qi of the Chaos River and drawing energy from the great Annihilation Tribulations of past universes, and it had actually begun to grow, which truly delighted him beyond expectation.

The tree absorbed slowly, however, and its growth was not very fast. What was even stranger was that in each stretch of the Chaos River, after absorbing a portion of the chaotic qi, the World Tree would stop absorbing; only when it reached the next stretch did it start absorbing again.

Even Shen Mu could not figure out the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it. "Mu Tianzun, have you still not reached the Yujing realm? " Qiang Tianfei suddenly asked.

Shen Mu nodded and sighed.

"My potential is exhausted.

I fear I will never have the chance to enter the Yujing realm in this lifetime.

" His face dark, he added with a sigh, "Seeing you all cultivate the Heavenly Palace, I am envious, jealous, and utterly helpless. " Qiang Tianfei gave a cold laugh.

"Without having cultivated Yujing, your strength is already this formidable. Once you cultivate Yujing, who could possibly stop you? Mu Tianzun, an honest man does not speak in riddles. With your cultivation, let alone the Yujing realm, even the Lingxiao realm or the Dizuo realm would probably be no obstacle for you!

So why have you not cultivated the Yujing realm?

" Shen Mu was rarely so serious.

He said in a low voice, "Because the Yujing, Lingxiao, and Dizuo realms are all traps! " Qiang Tianfei's expression shifted. "What do you mean by that?

" "Every realm of the Heavenly Palace can find a natural treasure ground formed by the Great Dao in the Ancestral Court, and the Divine Execution Platform is the same. But the Yujing realm alone was not formed by the Great Dao. It was built by the Master of Miluo Palace. " Shen Mu said calmly, "The power of the Master of Miluo Palace is unfathomable.

He created Yujing City, and you, Supreme Emperor, visualized it and copied it, making it the Heavenly Court's Yujing City. When later generations cultivate the Heavenly Court's Yujing City, they fall into the Yujing trap. " He laid out his thoughts and went on, "The purpose of the Master of Miluo Palace, I fear, is to borrow the power of all the gods under Heaven, borrowing the Yujing Cities they cultivate, to reinforce this Ancestral Court Yujing City — until this city can carry him out of the great Annihilation Tribulation and into this age! " He said coldly, "Everyone who cultivates Yujing is sewing a bridal gown for the Master of Miluo Palace, letting him descend into this age all the sooner!

Supreme Emperor, from beginning to end you have been nothing but a chess piece of the Master of Miluo Palace! He used you to spread the Yujing realm, and now he has begun to use the ten Heavenly Venerables! " Qiang Tianfei's face changed drastically. Shen Mu continued, "As long as the ten Heavenly Venerables cultivate the Yujing realm, complete the Great Heavenly Court, and thereby attain the Dao, this Yujing City will be strengthened once again, and perhaps he will be able to run out from the universe of the past!

This is the Yujing trap — the trap that sweeps all the powerhouses of our universe into one net!

" Cold sweat streamed down Qiang Tianfei's forehead, one bean-sized drop after another, striking the little boat. Her body went stiff, and she turned her head with difficulty to look at the battered Dao Fruit near her shoulder. The woman inside the Dao Fruit was naked. She suddenly sneered, "Yujing trap?

You are overthinking!

How mighty is the Master of Miluo Palace, and how compassionate and pitying toward Heaven and man!

How could he design a trap for ants like you? The Master of Miluo Palace's purpose is to save you! He is pulling you out of ignorance, letting you awaken your spiritual intelligence and comprehend the Great Dao, instead of living on in a muddle! " Shen Mu's gaze fell on the woman in the Dao Fruit. He sneered, "Would the Master of Miluo Palace be so kind-hearted?

Is he the great benefactor of sixteen cosmic epochs? " "More than a great benefactor!

" The woman in the Dao Fruit's words were full of reverence and admiration for the Master of Miluo Palace.

"If not for him and Yujing City, you would still be a bunch of big oafs who only know how to use Primordial Divine Stones to drive their divine sense, and you would never have entered the age of civilization! " Qiang Tianfei's face darkened. She was greatly displeased by the term "big oafs.

" "It was the Master of Miluo Palace's Yujing City that gave birth to your civilization!

" the woman in the Dao Fruit went on.

"He did not build Yujing City to rule over you, but to save people! He hoped that when your universe was destroyed, he could rescue you from the Tribulation of Annihilation! You take this city for a trap, but what you do not know is that this city was forged by his own Great Dao together with the Great Dao of tens of thousands of Dao-achievers! A trap? " She sneered endlessly.

"This city contains his insights into the Dao, contains the Dao insights of tens of thousands of Dao-achievers. If you can cultivate Yujing and comprehend the hidden Dao mysteries of this city, that will be enough for you to attain the Dao and survive the great Annihilation Tribulation! " A fanatical light shone in her eyes.

"This city will also become stronger and more indestructible because of you. It will bear us through one great tribulation of universal annihilation after another! If Yujing really were a trap, why would he pass down his own Dao? Why would he have tens of thousands of Dao-achievers use their Dao to forge this divine city? " Shen Mu and Qiang Tianfei were stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

Shen Mu especially.

He had long known of the Yujing trap and had firmly believed in his heart that it was a trap left by the Master of Miluo Palace, a trap to slaughter the divine-power practitioners and gods of this age and help them descend all the sooner! It was exactly this preconceived notion that made him view the Ancestral Court's Yujing City with all kinds of bias. But hearing the words of the woman in the Dao Fruit suddenly gave him another perspective, planting a sliver of doubt in his mind about the Yujing trap.

Indeed, if the Master of Miluo Palace truly intended to lay the Yujing trap, why would he brand his own Dao onto Yujing City?
